When given only two numbers, a high and a low, what is the difference between the mean and the median?

None.

Exactly...so why are we going through this exercise? Goff took highs and lows and computed what he called "medians". Hall criticized him for taking what he called "means". In this case they are the same, so why the attack?

Hall's point is when you have mean or median data you should use Accumulated Degree Days. Goff used Accumulated Degree Hours.

Aren't they interchangeable ?
